Thierry Blancpain pointed me to this great short essay by Douglas Adams about the changes the internet brings upon us. I wanted to post some favorite quotes here, but realized that there are just too many.

So here's what you should do instead: Go and read the whole thing yourself. Done? Great. Now go read it again.

Done? Now think about the fact that the piece was written in 1999 - eleven years ago. It seems to me that the debate hasn't changed a lot since then. I guess that's not a good sign.
